Ex-Tulsa Public Schools athletic director charged with theft

Charge filed against Stephanie Spring

Former Tulsa Public Schools athletic director Stephanie Spring has been charged with stealing more than $5,000 from the district.

The charge was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma by an assistant U.S. attorney from the court's Western District in Oklahoma City. A federal prosecutor told the Tulsa World (http://bit.ly/WIAzBP ) that the Tulsa office recused from the case because an attorney there previously represented a person whose name came up during the investigation.

The charge alleges that Spring took money for the rental of school facilities and deposited it into her personal account.

An attorney for Spring is not listed and there is no current telephone listing for her.
